Gorr the Barbarian

on: December 22, 2010, 02:14:53 am
Hello!

Made myself a barbarian. I tried to go for a stylized look but not sure how well I've pulled it off. There's something that looks a little wonky right now, but I can't say what exactly. Please help :D



EDIT: added new version.


EDIT 2:

I'm new to pixeling, but one thing that stood out to me was the lack of detail in the legs as compared to the upper body. It looks pretty good to me though!  :)

Yeah, I didn't shade the legs because I'm not sure I'm happy with them yet. Maybe I'll change their angle a bit.

Sorry I couldn't help more. I'm not great at anatomy so I can't give advice as to that aspect. Good luck!  :)

More definition, more saturation, contrapost curve with straight line in the musculature. Consider your small pixel clusters and what their perfect shape could be more. Don't be afraid of oily skin when you're drawing barbarians.

Looks good to me, but are you sure you didn't see that pose somewhere before?

Hehe yep, I had Rastan in mind when I did it. The sword pose is pretty standard barbarian fare tho' :P

Okay, starker contrasts and a bit more angled shapes. Tried to take Helm's tips to heart without ripping his edit off too much  :P I'm quite happy with it now, the older version looks real blobby in comparison ::) Time for some animation I think...

Much better, but his right leg looks a bit awkward. You can try to pose that way and you'll see you won't feel yourself very comfortable. And the muscle in his right thigh (I don't know it's name in english) looks a bit too inflated. Cover it with the loincloth. I'd retouch it myself but I'm new at the pixel stuff and I suck yet.

Small update to fix the thigh muscle. About the leg position, do you think the older pose looked more natural? I kinda wanted him to look a bit exaggerated and outrageous, and the pose fits that I think. Will try a different one tho' when the Xmas-rush is over with  :P
